Chapter 93 Reporters have come to interview.
Her eyes welled up with tears again. She gently took Qin Yishen's hand, her voice choked with emotion, "Yishen, thank you. It's so good to have you here."

The two sat facing each other. Qin Yishen picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of braised pork on Jiang Man's plate. He said gently, "Man'er, this is what you deserve. You've had such a tough time all these years. Getting into Tsinghua or Peking University is a new beginning for you. I'm so proud of you."

Jiang Man's eyes reddened as she put the braised pork into her mouth. The familiar taste spread across her tongue; it was the taste of home, the taste of love.

She smiled happily, her eyes sparkling: "Yishen, this is the best braised pork I've ever eaten. In the days to come, we will face more challenges together and walk together."

Sunlight, like scattered gold dust, fell on Jiang Manjia's rather simple courtyard, but the tranquil atmosphere was broken by a burst of lively noise.

Because Jiang Man achieved the top score in the province in the college entrance examination, reporters from major media outlets flocked to the scene, crowding the once quiet courtyard.

Jiang Man stood at her doorstep, looking somewhat shyly at the group of reporters carrying cameras and microphones, a bashful smile on her face.

She wore a light blue dress that had faded slightly from washing, her hair was neatly tied back, revealing her smooth forehead, and her clear eyes conveyed a sense of simplicity and determination.

A young reporter stepped forward first, handed the microphone to Jiang Man, and said enthusiastically, "Jiang Man, congratulations on achieving first place in the province! Could you share with us how you felt when you learned of your result?"

Jiang Man lowered her head slightly, pondered for a moment, then raised her head with tears of excitement in her eyes and said, "When I saw the results, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt more gratified that my years of hard work had paid off, and I was also grateful to my family and teachers."

The small living room contained a few old pieces of furniture, but it was kept in a neat and orderly manner.

The walls are covered with Jiang Man's certificates of merit from childhood to adulthood. Under the sunlight, they reflect a faint glow, as if telling the story of her hard work and achievements.

The reporter asked curiously, "Jiang Man, how do you maintain such excellent grades in such an environment?"

Jiang Man walked gently to the window, looked at the old locust tree that had accompanied her growth, and said slowly, "I know that my family is not well-off and my parents have worked very hard for me, so I can only rely on my own efforts to study. Every day after school, I do my homework and review my lessons at this small table. Although the environment is simple, as long as you have a dream in your heart, anywhere can be a good place to study."

Recalling her three years of high school, Jiang Man was filled with emotion. She recounted how she would get up before dawn every day to memorize vocabulary and do exercises, and how she would study difficult problems under the dim light after her family had gone to sleep.

When she encountered difficulties, she thought about giving up, but when she thought of her parents' expectant eyes, she mustered up her courage again.

“Once, I did not do well on a math test and I was very frustrated. I wondered if I was not suited for studying. But my dad told me that as long as I persevered, there was no hurdle I couldn’t overcome. From then on, I worked even harder and asked my teachers and classmates for help when I encountered difficult problems. Gradually, my grades improved.”

When discussing learning methods, Jiang Man earnestly shared: "I believe there are no shortcuts to learning. You just need to read more books, do more practice problems, and summarize more. After learning each knowledge point, I will organize my own notes, marking the key points and difficult points for easy review. In addition, I will make a detailed study plan and allocate my time reasonably to improve learning efficiency."

She also emphasized the importance of classroom learning, saying, "If you're at school, what the teacher says in class is the essence of the lesson, so you must listen attentively, think actively, and follow the teacher's train of thought."

Jiang Man said, "Learning is not only for myself, but also to have the ability to help more people and contribute to society."

As the interview drew to a close, the reporter asked Jiang Man, "You've been admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities. What are your plans for the future?"

With a determined look in her eyes, Jiang Man said, "After entering university, I will continue to study hard and strive to pursue postgraduate studies. I hope to make achievements in my field in the future, use my knowledge to give back to society, help families like mine, and give more children the opportunity to realize their dreams."

The warm sunlight streamed down the street as Qin Yishen and Jiang Man walked side by side. Jiang Man was about to enter Tsinghua or Peking University, so Qin Yishen decided to take her to buy new clothes and dormitory supplies. They first went to a shopping mall and entered a women's clothing store.

Inside the store, soft lighting illuminates rows of clothes of various styles.

Jiang Man felt a little awkward. She was used to wearing simple clothes and was momentarily at a loss when faced with these fashionable garments.

Qin Yishen gently held her hand and comforted her, "Man'er, don't be nervous. Try these out. You're going to university now, so you should have a new look."

Qin Yishen wandered among the clothes racks, picking out a light pink dress. The skirt was as light as a cloud, and the delicate lace trim at the neckline exuded elegance.

"Man'er, this will definitely suit you."

Jiang Man took it and went into the fitting room. The moment she came out, Qin Yishen's eyes lit up.

The pale pink color made her skin appear even whiter, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a flower blooming in spring. Jiang Man smiled shyly, "Does it really look good? I feel a little uncomfortable."

Qin Yishen smiled and nodded: "It's so beautiful, it's like it was made just for you."

He then selected several simple yet stylish tops and pants for Jiang Man to try on.

Every time Jiang Man walked out of the fitting room, Qin Yishen would look at her carefully, his eyes full of admiration and love.

After buying clothes, they went to a home furnishing store.

The store is filled with a wide variety of goods, from soft bedding to small storage boxes.

Qin Yishen pulled Jiang Man to the bedding section and pointed to a light blue four-piece set with star patterns, saying, "Man'er, this set is very cozy. It will definitely feel like home in the dormitory."

Jiang Man gently touched it; the fabric was soft and comfortable, and the light blue color was also her favorite.

She nodded in agreement. Then, they chose a simple white desk lamp with soft light, suitable for studying in the dormitory.

Qin Yishen picked up a small potted plant and said with a smile, "Putting a potted plant in the dormitory can make you feel happier."

Jiang Man looked at the vibrant green plant and felt a surge of joy.

When choosing storage supplies, Jiang Man picked out several transparent storage boxes of different sizes and said happily, "These can keep things organized."

Qin Yishen looked at her carefully selecting items, his heart filled with doting affection.

Before they knew it, their shopping cart was full. Qin Yishen and Jiang Man walked out of the store with their purchases.
